No Way! That Girl is Cure Sword?? (known as The Glitter Spotlight in the US) is the 5th episode of Doki Doki! PreCure (4th of Glitter Force Doki Doki), and the 442nd episode overall of Pretty Cure.
Mana is completely convinced that Makoto is Cure Sword.
Tropes:
- An Aesop: Everyone has emotions, and you need to be considerate of them.
- Black Bead Eyes: When Mana turns around after running a far distance, her eyes are rendered as simple black dots.
- Call-Back: Glitter Force Doki Doki: The song sung by the Distain girl is "Wake Up, Shake Up".
- Cultural Translation: In the Glitter Force version, all Japanese text on screen is replaced with English.
- Holding Hands: Mana and Makoto hold hands for a moment after they make up.
- Light 'em Up: The Jikochuu uses bright lights to blind the Cures and knock them out.
- Love Bubbles: When Mana first sees Makoto, she sees her in a hazy pink field surrounded by bubbles.
- Luminescent Blush: Mana blushes when she gets to see Makoto in person.
- Shout-Out: In the Glitter Force cut, when Clara announces that she thinks Mackenzie and Glitter Spade are the same person, Rachel calls her "a regular Sherlock Holmes".
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Mana barges into Makoto's dressing room talking about how she knows she's Cure Sword and inviting her to join the team. However, Makoto is a very busy celebrity, and had already lost her home while fighting as Cure Sword, so she coldly rebuffs Mana's offer and kicks her out.
